Deadline extended for the Breakthrough Experience Award

New deadline: Feb. 22 at 5 p.m. EST

Calling all digital gurus from around the world: The A-List & Creativity Awards might be closed for entries, but here's one more chance for you to make your mark.

We've partnered with WP Engine on the Breakthrough Experience Award, a special honor to be announced at our upcoming A-List and Creativity Awards Gala that will recognize a campaign from 2018 that challenged conventional wisdom to create a breakthrough web or digital experience for a brand.

Specifically, we're looking for a campaign or experience that leveraged design and technology to deepen engagement with customers in new and exciting ways. Emerging or developing technologies like AR, VR or voice might be involved--or perhaps you employed tried and true tools in a completely unexpected way. The winning work will have demonstrated such ingenuity while ultimately increasing brand awareness and growth.

The new entry deadline is Feb. 22 at 5 p.m. EST. There is no fee to enter.

Here's what you need to know before starting your free entry:
